These New Nightlands Songs are Mesmerizing Sonic Tapestries (Listen)

Hear three new selections from 'I Can Feel the Night Around Me' by Nightlands

A euphoric sunrise, a moonlit desert drive, a blossoming cosmos: these are images that might appear in your mind as you listen to selections from Nightlands’ I Can Feel the Night Around Me. Nightlands leader Dave Hartley has woven layers of nostalgic synthesizers and warm vocals to create a ‘virtual choir’ and a mesmerizing sonic tapestry.

Hartley (best known as a core member and longtime bassist of The War On Drugs) has shared three songs from I Can Feel the Night Around Me (listen below),his third album as Nightlands. ‘Fear of Flying’ sounds like a cross between The Beach Boys and Vangelis’s Blade Runner soundtrack. ‘Only You Know’ is a Dion cover, recorded as a fun journey into pop crooning. On the electrifying ‘Depending on You,’ Hartley’s vocals cascade like warm layers of sunlight. Contrary to the warmth in these songs, Hartley recorded most of the album alone in a cold warehouse basement in North Philadelphia.

I Can Feel the Night Around Me is due May 5th via Western Vinyl, and it’s available for preorder now. See Nightlands album art and tour dates below.
